Fusion 360: If your gap is design and build preparation rather than order and inventory management
3YOURMIND
Order management and MES for additive manufacturing, with digital part inventories
As of 31 August 2026, 3YOURMIND's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Modular software that runs an additive manufacturing operation end to end: identifying which parts are worth printing, taking and pricing orders, and scheduling the shop floor. Softwr lists it under Manufacturing. 3YOURMIND is made by 3YOURMIND GmbH, available on Web, Cloud, On-premise, API.
Overview
What 3YOURMIND does
3YOURMIND sells a modular suite for organisations that treat additive manufacturing as production rather than prototyping. Agile PLM analyses historical part and consumption data to build a qualified digital inventory of components worth printing. Agile ERP handles order intake, automated pricing and production routing, including customer-facing and internal portals. Agile MES schedules jobs across machines, tracks work in progress and captures quality data along the production chain. The distinguishing capability is part identification. Most additive software assumes you already know what to print. 3YOURMIND starts from an ERP extract of thousands of stocked items and scores them for additive suitability on geometry, demand pattern and cost, which is why its reference deployments cluster around spare parts: naval distributed manufacturing, energy sector digital inventories, rail and defence. The value proposition is inventory reduction, not printing speed. Buyers are large asset operators and additive service bureaus with genuine order volume. The trade-off is that it is enterprise software with enterprise pricing and no public price list; third-party listings suggest an entry point around 10,000 euro a year but the vendor publishes nothing, and a real deployment spans several modules. A company with two printers and an occasional job does not need it and will not recover the cost.
What people use it for
- A navy or defence logistics organisation setting up distributed on-demand manufacturing for spares at forward sites
- An energy operator screening a legacy spare parts catalogue to find which items are cheaper printed on demand than stocked
- An additive service bureau automating quoting and order intake so engineers stop pricing jobs by hand
- A manufacturer scheduling mixed jobs across several printer technologies with traceable quality records per part
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 3YOURMIND.
- No pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.
- The part identification module only produces useful output if ERP master data and consumption history are clean, and organisations with poor material master data spend the first phase on data quality rather than printing.
- It is enterprise-scale software aimed at fleets and networks; a shop with a handful of machines gets more from a printer vendor own job management at no extra cost.
- Machine integration depth varies by manufacturer, so a mixed fleet including smaller or newer OEMs often needs manual steps that undermine the automated scheduling case.
- The company is a mid-sized independent in a sector that has consolidated heavily, and buyers making a multi-year distributed manufacturing commitment are exposed to that if ownership changes.

Answered, with sources
Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
What does 3YOURMIND cost?
The vendor publishes nothing. Expect an annual subscription quoted per module, plus integration work. Third-party listings cite roughly 10,000 euro a year as an entry point, which should be treated as unverified.
Is it a slicer?
No. It sits above build preparation, handling part selection, orders, scheduling and traceability, and integrates with preparation tools such as Netfabb and Magics.
Who actually uses it?
Large asset operators and service bureaus. Public references include US Navy distributed manufacturing and energy sector digital inventory programmes.
Can it run on-premise?
Yes. On-premise deployment is offered, which matters for defence and critical infrastructure customers.
